  • Full time - Man Utd 4-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 5-2)

    Manchester United march into the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

  • Man Utd 4-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 5-2)

    90+4. There haven't been too many nights at Old Trafford like this recently.

    They may have been helped by two penalties and a red card, but four-goal victories and successful European nights are what many in this stadium were brought up on.

    90+1. Diogo Dalot puts the icing on the cake!

    United are ending this one with a flourish, and suddenly these players - beleaguered for so long - are playing with a real confidence.

    They're queuing up to score too, and when Rasmus Hojlund does well to work the ball back in from the byline, Dalot arrives to sidefoot into the roof the net.

  • Four!

  • Man Utd 3-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 4-2)

    89. Heaven tries an overhead kick.

    He doesn't connect with the cross, but it gives some indication of the freedom that these United players are suddenly operating with.

  • Man Utd 3-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 4-2)

    87. What a player Bruno Fernandes is!

  • Hat-trick!

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    84. It's been a while but Manchester United have another penalty!

    It's the lively Dorgu who is sent sprawling again, this time by the sliding challenge of Traore.

    The Real Sociedad player can't believe it, and I'm not sure Dorgu can either as he appears to tell the referee 'no penalty'.

    It prompts a VAR check in which the referee is informed that the defender won the ball first before the United man was sent to ground.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    81. For the first time in a long time, United are cracking open some champaign football.

    Bruno Fernandes is pulling strings, and it's he who sets off Noussair Mazraoui for some brilliance on the right flank.

    A nutmeg and a measured cross puts a chance on a plate for Joshua Zirkzee, who heads despairingly wide.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    78. Young Toby Collyer is on for the Red Devils.

    The 21-year-old takes over in midfield from Casemiro, who has put in a decent shift for the hosts.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    74. Bruno Fernandes has his eyes on a hat-trick.

    The Portuguese pass-master lines up a quickfire effort from just outside the box, only for it take a deflection and loop straight at the goalkeeper.

  • From Martin Blackburn at Old Trafford

    Bruno Fernandes was the coolest man on the park – slotting home his second spot-kick of the night just after half time.

    Where would United be without their skipper and talisman? More than likely going out of the Europa League.

    Sociedad going down to 10-men following Aramburu’s red card means the quarter finals beckon for Amorim’s men. 

  • An update from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

    Wilson Odobert has followed his first Tottenham goal earlier this evening with his second.

    The former Burnley youngster has put Spurs 3-1 up on the night, and back in charge of their Last 16 tie.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    69. With the extra man, United are dominating the ball.

    It would take something particularly disastrous for the Red Devils to let this tie slip from their grasp now.

    Never say never, mind.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    67. Well, that's the opposite of the phrase 'good football all around'.

    Garnacho finds room on the right flank, but makes a mess of his cross with plenty of options available.

    It's an easy clearance for the the defender, except he instead takes such a heavy touch that it allows Hojlund to take over.

    The striker has time and room to weigh up his finish yet takes advantage of neither, scuffing a wayward shot straight at an opponent.

  • An update from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

    Spurs have been pegged back in North London.

    Peer Koopmeiners has fired AZ Alkmaar level on aggregate, and with little under half hour remaining, the Premier League side have to respond again.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    62. Real Sociedad are down to ten men!

    Substitute Jon Aramburu, who has barely been on the pitch seven minutes, has been dismissed for bringing Patrick Dorgu.

    The Real Sociedad man is caught the wrong side of the young Dane as United move it forward quickly, and can only respond by dragging him down.

    The incident takes place a long way from goal and Nayef Aguerd was close to getting round, but Benoit Bastien says red card and the video officials do not see enough to overturn it.

    A harsh one in my view.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    58. A Manchester United player has just scored.

    His name? Antony, who has put Betis 3-0 up at Vitoria in the Conference League.

    The Brazilian moves closer to re-joining the Red Devils for £170m in 2027.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    55. Outlandish thinking from Garnacho, who slides across the penalty area to scoop a cross over in one motion.

    Hojlund is all alone if the ball can find him, but unfortunately - and somewhat typically - for the striker, it bounces up and into the hands of the goalkeeper.

  • An update from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

    Second before Manchester United grabbed the lead in their Europa League Round of 16 tie, Tottenham were doing the same in their clash.

    James Maddison is the man on target in the capital, and Ange Postecoglou's side have come from behind to lead their Dutch opponents.

  • Man Utd 2-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 3-2)

    50. Bruno Fernandes does it again!

    Different corner, different technique, same outcome!

  • Never in doubt!

  • Man Utd 1-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 2-2)

    48. It's another penalty!

    The third of the night and Manchester United's second has been awarded after Patrick Dorgu was sent tumbling in the box.

    It looked as though Aritz Elustondo was trying to pull out of the challenge, but as soon as knee connected with knee, referee Benoit Bastien pointed to the spot.

    There's a lengthy VAR check in the aftermath, but the decision is upheld, and once again all eyes are on Bruno Fernandes...

  • Kick-off - Man Utd 1-1 Real Sociedad (Agg: 2-2)

    46. Here we go! Manchester United have 45 minutes (possibly 75) to find the win that saves their season.
